Common Acronyms and Definitions
- MSPSor MS/smegasamples per second, or millions of samples per second
- kSPSor kS/skilosamples per second, or thousands of samples per second
- SPSor S/ssamples per second
- Vvolt
- mVmillivolt, or a thousandth of a volt
- sseconds
- msmillisecond, or a thousandth of a second
- usmicrosecond, or a millionth of a second

- USB LS/FSUniversal Serial Bus Low Speed / Full Speed
- Baud ratedata rate measured in bits per second
- MSBmost significant bit

- Parityadditional information added to the data to provide error detection information
- Processing backlogIn the Saleae software, the data recorded from the device is transformed to the storage format as it is recorded, in near-real time. If the process is unable to keep up with the recording in real time, the processing backlog will grow as unprocessed data are buffered.
- Trigger backlogIn the Saleae software, when the trigger is used, the processed data are then fed into the trigger in near real-time. If the trigger thread is unable to process the already transformed data in real time, the trigger backlog will grow as processed (but not yet searched) data are buffered.
- MHz (Megahertz)Millions of cycles per second. It is a measure of frequency, usually in reference to bandwidth.
- Protocol AnalyzerA software plugin for the Saleae software that will decode standardized signals into bytes.
